4. What is Moodle?
Moodle is a Learning Management System, Course Management
System, or Virtual Learning Environment, depending on which term you
prefer.
GOAL: Give teachers and students the tools they need to teach and
learn.
Ownership: Copyright is owned by individual contributors and not
assigned to a single entity.
5. Who is Using Moodle?
• This number is growing by about 10% each month as educators and
trainers learn the value of implementing open source Moodle.
6. 5 Reasons you should choose Moodle
• Open Source – Moodle Users have the adaptability in what features they
need, what they want to customize and have a decision with respect to
how they might want their LMS.
• Simple Interface – Very user friendly with simple interface and intuitive
navigation.
• Customization – You need your organization name, logo, and your brand
colors. Doing this with Moodle is very simple.
• Offline Access – Enable remote access to download courses to their
gadgets and access them and can disconnect later.
• Cost Effective – No payment charge to possess Moodle, you will need to
pay the advancement and upkeep cost.
8. Requirements
• Moodle is primarily developed in Linux using Apache,
PostgreSQL/MySQL/MariaDB and PHP (sometimes known as the
LAMP platform).
• If you are installing Moodle in a Windows server, note that from
php5.5 onwards, you will also need to have the Visual C++
Redistributable for Visual Studio 2011.
9. The basic requirements for Moodle are as
follows:
• Disk space: 200MB for the Moodle code, plus as much as you need to store
content. 5GB is probably a realistic minimum.
• Processor: 1GHz (min), 2GHz dual core or more recommended.
• Memory: 512MB (min), 1GB or more is recommended. 8GB plus is likely on
a large production server
• Consider separate servers for the web "front ends" and the database. It is
much easier to "tune“
All the above requirements will vary depending on specific hardware and
software combinations as well as the type of use and load; busy sites may
well require additional resources. Further guidance can be found
under performance recommendations. Moodle scales easily by increasing
hardware.

There are other types of software systems that are important for educational institutions, for example ePortfolios, Student Information Systems and Content repositories. Generally, Moodle does not try to re-invent these areas of functionality. Instead, it tries to be the best LMS possible, and then interoperate gracefully with other systems that provide the other areas of functionality. It is, however, perfectly possible to use Moodle as a stand-alone system, without integrating it with anything else.
Moodle is a web application written in PHP. Moodle is open source. Copyright is owned by individual contributors, not assigned to a single entity, although the company Moodle Pty Ltd in Perth Australia, owned by Moodle's founder Martin Dougiamas, manages the project.
